There were three winners in Carpinteria for Tuesday night’s city election – Monica Solórzano for district one, Councilmember Roy Lee for district three and potentially Vice Mayor Al Clark for district five, the latter with 56.32% of the vote – but votes for the controversial Measure T intiative remain close. As of Wednesday morning, the number of “no” votes have the lead by only eight votes. The count will be tentatively updated by Nov. 15 at 5 p.m., to account for any additional mail-in ballots. See more about the election results on page 5.

The controversial initiative aimed to redesignate Parking Lot #3, above, to prevent construction of the Surfliner Inn.

Celebrating donated over 20 years of Community Dividends®

In 2003,

To celebrate 20 years, we awarded $2 million to 200 local nonprofits

We are grateful for the legacy and inspiration of Michael Towbes and the impact these nonprofits make each and every day across our Central Coast communities. And, we are grateful for all of you, our loyal clients who help to make a difference in our communities today and for generations to come.

Michael Towbes introduced Community Dividends® an annual giving event that became a hallmark of corporate philanthropy in our communities.

Construction crews will not work over the Thanksgiving weekend, according to an update sent out by SBROADS on Friday. The speed limit in construction zones remains at 55 mph.; unless other wise marked, consecutive ramps going in the same direction will not be closed.

Regular closures of lanes and ramps continue in the area as construction progresses. On the northbound side of Highway 101, one lane between Santa Claus Lane and Sheffield Drive will be closed Mondays through Thursdays from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., as well as Sundays from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The off-ramp at Evans and Lillie Ave nue will remain closed until Jan. 26, 2023, and the on-ramp at Ortega Hill Road will be closed until Feb. 14, 2023.

CCC to create new Carpinteria-based loss support group

Compassionate Care of Carpinteria (CCC), an initiative from the Hospice of Santa Barbara, is looking to create a Carpinteria-based support group called Healing the Loss of a Loved One. The general loss support group, for 18+, provides services for people dealing with the deaths of their loved ones; it will be led by a licensed therapist.

“Healing the Loss of a Loved One is intended to assist individuals experiencing grief by sharing their experience with other individuals undergoing the similar ex periences. The group is set up to be a peer-to- peer group guided by a licensed ther apist. Losing a loved one is hard, but it a journey that you don’t have to do alone,” Adriana Marroquin, Community Initiatives Manager at CCC, said in a press release. “Our support groups allow for a safe, confidential environment where everyone can process their feelings in a healthy and helpful way.”

A time and location will be set based on group size and availability. Contact (805)563-8820 or email Intake@hospiceofsb.org for more information or to show interest.

Cottage Hospital reports rise in RSV cases

Cottage Hospital has seen a rise in serious respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases, the hospital said Tuesday.

According to a press release sent out Tuesday, the hospital is seeing a “significant increase” in RSV cases and urged the community to take precautions to protect those particularly at risk for serious symptoms of the virus, including infants and adults over 65.

“RSV can be a serious problem for premature infants and young infants, young children, older children with asthma or chronic lung disease and older adults. These groups may have more serious infections and trouble breathing,” the hospital said.

Most children have contacted RSV by age two; infants younger than 12 months are at the highest risk of experiencing severe symptoms. Older children and adults can also be infected. Most symptoms appear the same as a cold or a flu, and can include a stuffy or runny nose, a low-grade fever, a cough and a headache.

Open letter to supervisors

I may be a little late in my presentation, but I am appalled at the scope of the housing density proposed by our current Board of Supervisors. You, obviously, are not acting in the best interests of your constituents. Specifically, what part of “drought” do you not understand?

We are constantly being told to conserve water, and then our duly elected officials throw it in our face by proposing massive housing projects. How do you propose to provide these projects with water? Not to mention other services which will be required, which will only serve to increase the taxes we pay.

I live in Carpinteria which will be significantly affected by these projects. We don’t need them. Don’t want them. And don’t want supervisors who don’t consider their constituents before acting on something that is totally unacceptable.

Supes need to rethink rezoning

The County of Santa Barbara held a “South Coast Housing Element Workshop” on its intended plan for designation of real property parcels in the South Coast to be re-zoned for high intensity housing projects.

The county has identified these properties allegedly to conform with the current State of California “RHNA” (high density, affordable housing) mandates. Shortly before its workshop, the county released a map designating what parcels in South County it targeted to include in its RHNA mandates for the next eightyear period. Release of the map gave residents little time to understand its various color codings and intentions.

It turns out that a substantial proportion of the RHNA requirement for the South Coast is targeted on agricultural properties lying just outside the urban

boundary of Carpinteria. This is in direct contradiction of the county’s own policy as stated in its Environmental Scoping Element against designating agricultural, non-urban properties in meeting RHNA numbers. In the entire county there is only one other designated property outside a city limit! The 12 designated properties ring the city of Carpinteria.

They would add hundreds of extremely dense house units to a small area between the mountains and the sea, without adequate roads, infrastructure and water. The city of Carpinteria would be overwhelmed and essentially eliminated. Many people attended the workshop via zoom to question the overwhelming number of properties surrounding the city of Carpinteria to be included in the RHNA numbers.

First District Supervisor Das Williams later entered the concerned discussion on Next Door trying to allay fears regarding the rezoning of AG property and property outside the urban boundary. I hope his sentiments are shared by the entire Board of Supervisors and that it results in a re-thinking of the South Coast Housing Element designation of properties for rezoning.

Thankful for blood donors

I just wanted to thank those of you who donate blood and blood platelets because this year I have needed both to live, and am so thankful for you taking the time to donate. When I was younger, I donated blood, but I never thought deeply about how life giving this is. If you have not done this before I encourage you to donate blood or platelets. You can make a wonderful difference in the lives of people in need of blood. I hope you too have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Carpinterian man’s composition inspired by Carpinteria nature

BY JUN STARKEY

Lifelong Carpinterian Cody Anderson wrote the symphonic suite “Carpinteria Suite” over six months, inspired by the natural beauty of the Carpinteria Bluffs and shoreline that he explored with his dog Poki, during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.

In March 2020, after Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) transitioned to online classes amid the Covid-19 pandemic, music professor and director of the SBCC Symphony Orchestra Jim Mooy decided that the group needed a composition that could be learned and recorded virtually.

Mooy reached out to Anderson, a longtime SBCC music student, and another composer, Scott Lillard, to create something that checked the necessary boxes. Anderson has been writing and arranging music at City College since 2011, and has played an instrument since the fourth grade.

As Anderson explained, the music for the remote semester needed to fit the composition of an orchestra, but also allow students to record themselves playing their individual pieces. It had to sound seamless when pieced together.

“I had to make sure it stayed at the same tempo, and featured a little bit of everyone,” he said.

Anderson was inspired by the walks he took with his dog on the Carpinteria Bluffs or onto the beach. Anderson said those walks “kinda kept (him) sane, and were great for inspiration.” During the lockdown, this was his only time outside, and it forced him to sit and observe the environment. Despite growing up in Carpinteria, Anderson admitted he’d never spent much time exploring the area before the pandemic.

“Carpinteria Suite” is made up of seven movements, each focusing on a different aspect of the natural environment Anderson observed. The first part, “Poem for a Sunrise,” is “fun and pretty,” Anderson described, while the “March of the Royal Squirrels” is “jumpy and playful,” and the “Waltz of the Great Egret” is “elegant.”

Some parts were inspired by specific moments, or things he happened to see on his walks. A later part, inspired by a ship floating near an oil derrick, titled “The Lonely Ship at Sea,” was “darker,

and more haunting.” He kept each movement simple, per the remote symphony requirement, but said that “each little movement inspires feelings.”

Another part of the suite, titled “Empire of the Seals,” pays homage to the Carpinteria Seal Sanctuary. In the program notes for the suite, Anderson writes: “This is a fanfare for the seals of the Carpinteria seal sanctuary.” This movement is playful, but also utilizes “sweeping musical lines to denote the waves crashing upon the shore.”

The SBCC Orchestra met each week virtually, and practiced by “playing through the new material, working-out bowings, and defining phrasing,” according to the Note from the Conductor

included in the program for the suite, which was written by Mooy. Members then recorded their individual parts and sent them into Mooy for mixing.

In the notes for the suite, Mooy also thanks Anderson and Lillard for their work. “Your inventive music has made this semester so very rewarding and brought joy to our lives,” he wrote.

The virtual version of the suite was performed via Zoom at the end of the Fall 2020 semester at City College, and is currently on the SBCC Music Department’s YouTube page: youtube.com/c/ SBCCMusicDepartment.

SBCC Orchestra will perform “Carpinteria Suite” live at Garvin Hall on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m.

Brass Bird Coffee has Carpinteria buzzing

CVN

BOSSES BY BOSTROM

INGRID BOSTROM

New locale, Brass Bird Coffee, has Carpinterians buzzing.

Al Weil calls it the “perfect way to start your day in Carpinteria (with) great coffee, lattes and breakfast choices,” while Pecos Pryor is enamored by the outdoor seating, which comes equipped with “both a fire pit and a water feature!”

“I am a tea aficionado, and their Lon don Fog with oat milk is creamy and de lightful. Their turmeric tea health elixir is top notch! It gave me a zing for the whole day, and it was good for the system,” Aja Forner added.

Owner Sarah Dandona sat down with CVN to dish on the business details.

CVN: How did the name Brass Bird originate?

S arah Dandona : My grandmother, Theodora (namesake of Teddy’s by the Sea), had a beautiful pair of brass birds (pheasants) that she gave me. When we were trying to think of a name for our coffee shop, we were struggling to find something that captured the style and feeling we hoped to convey. One evening, I looked over at our brass birds and it came to me. They had an old world feel that evoked comfort and beauty – and the name “Brass Bird” was born.

Have you owned other coffee shops or businesses before?

We’ve never owned a coffee shop, but are no strangers to the food, beverage, and service industry. We got our start in catering – a company we recently sold –own Teddy’s by the Sea in Carpinteria and are in the process of renovating the Mackenzie Market building in Santa Bar bara, which will become another Teddy’s. We’ve always been a fan of delicious coffee with a great place to sit and enjoy; Brass Bird Coffee was a natural fit.

In addition to the wide-ranging break fast and lunch menus, the cases are stocked with delicious baked goods. Is the baking done in house? Who is your chef?

Yes, it was really important to us that our pastries be fresh, delicious, and made in-house. The only thing we don’t make in house are the croissants which

are provided fresh daily from Renaud’s. Our pastry chef is Realeen Portillo, and she is responsible for all the beauty you’ll find in our pastry cases. She loves to experiment with different flavors and has a wonderful palate. We’re excited to expand our bakery availability for whole cakes and pies in the future.

The generous menu, outdoor seating and staff all reflect thoughtful planning. What components were most important to you when dreaming up this coffee shop?

Our priorit y was finding a quality product. It was imperative to serve the best espresso and coffee we could find. When we tried Beacon Coffee (a bou tique roaster based in Ventura) we knew immediately they were the right partner. Not only is their coffee delicious, but it is of the highest quality, with responsibly sourced coffee. Once we had our coffee, we knew all our other products had to measure up – including the service we provide. We have a great group of people who love what they do and strive to make the experience, from arrival to the last sip, a memorable one. The surroundings, too, reflect the quality of our products, with an old European feel complemented with modern elements that evoke Carpinteria’s beach roots. Having outdoor seating was also a must because of the beautiful weather we enjoy year-round.

What do you love most about Carpin teria?

Hands down, the sense of communi ty. It’s beautiful and full of community minded people that enjoy talking to their neighbors and supporting local small businesses. Carpinteria is such a unique, special town with character you’d be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

While this one is a good treat year-round, it’s especially good – and quick – to grab while watching holiday movies (I recommend “Elf” (2003), which my mother used to play on repeat around the holidays. “Elf,” for those of you familiar, also highlights the loveliness of a sugar crave and crash). This recipe serves two.

Ingredients: Four scoops cookies and cream ice cream Two cups chocolate chips Eight Oreo cookies (crumbled or chopped in half) Whipped cream (optional)

LET’S

TALK

TEK

AVERY

The holiday season is here, and it got me wondering about how technology has impacted the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. I am sure that there will be a load of Tek gifts for Christmas, and Black Friday is always a good time to score some really great deals, but that is a topic for another time. I want to talk about Thanksgiving and the annual right to eat, drink and be merry!

Thanksgiving has been celebrated in some form since the first Harvest Festival in 1621 by the Pilgrims but did not officially become Thanksgiving un til Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving during the Civil War. He did this to help bring the country together with a holiday for all, with no religious affiliation.

The proclamation written in 1863 by President Lincoln’s secretary of state, William H. Stewart, stated: “It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people.”

There are many traditions that have stood the test of time family, food, football and parades, to name a few. The traditions may be similar in nature, but technology has touched each of these to varying degrees and will continue to do so. Let’s take a look at some of the ways that they have been influenced or changed.

There was a time when families would gather in large groups to celebrate. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to re think this, and Tek has helped to bridge the gap. Now you can use any of several platforms to communicate with family: Skype, Facetime, Amazon Echo, Zoom, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Line. The list continues to grow, as do the form factors that provide access, from your smartwatch to your television. You can connect with family and friends near and far without driving or flying over the river and through the woods.

Thanksgiving is not only about fami ly, but also about food. We still focus on the bird, but the way the bird is prepared and served can be very different – not to mention, sometimes all of that is left to someone else and all you need to do is wait for it to get delivered to your door. Just say Alexa, “order Thanksgiving Dinner.” You can get your recipes online on your Amazon Echo Show or watch a YouTube on how to roast your turkey to perfection, prepare delicious sweet potatoes or an over-the-top fruit salad.

You can even smoke your turkey on a Green Mountain or Traeger Grill and monitor the entire process via WiFi link to your Smartphone. And how about an automated bartender to mix cocktails, at the press of a button for adult beverage?

But of course, Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without a full line-up of football. When I grew up, we had a Thanksgiving Classic with a rival high school in the town next door. Aberdeen and Hoquiam would play their hearts out. This Thanksgiving you will find five football games to watch: three NFL games and two college conference games. And don’t forget World Cup Soccer. Tek comes to the rescue here, where you can record or find a stream at a convenient time. You just have to do a little surfing online and you can get a full serving of football with your Thanksgiving celebration.

And last but certainty not least, we have parades. The Macy’s Day Parade is the big one, and there are parades in Philadelphia, Detroit, Houston, Chicago, Charlotte and Seattle. Tek can help you find, record, stream and enjoy all of these colorful celebrations.

This year I am flying solo, and will be roasting and smoking turkeys, so there will be lots of leftovers. I will be housesitting, and I am sure the pups and the new cat will really appreciate some of the turkey too. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

PASTRIES IN PARADISE

HEATHER GIACONE

This time of year, when most of the country is gearing up for a long cold winter, we have the luxury of plucking delicious passion fruit from their exotic vines. Passion fruit seems to grow wild throughout our beach town commu nity, so I knew I wanted to give you a delicious recipe to utilize this fruit. This pie recipe is traditionally made using lemon and lime juice and citrus zest, so feel free to switch out ingredients if you don’t have access to passion fruit juice. Enjoy the upcoming holiday season. I’m truly thankful to have the opportunity to share recipes with you all.

Yields one, 9” pie

Crust: 2 ⅓ cup crushed saltine crackers ¼ cup sugar 6 ounce, or 1 ½ stick butter, melted

Filling: 2 cup sweetened condensed milk 1 cup passion fruit juice 6 egg yolks ½ t salt 1 t vanilla extract

Whipped Topping: 4 ounces cream cheese, softened ¼ sugar 1 ½ cup whipping cream 1 t vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

For the crust, in a large bowl, mix crushed saltine crackers, sugar and melt ed butter until combined. Press mixture on the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. You may need to press the pie crust down with a dry towel ½ way through baking. Cool completely.

For the filling, in a large bowl whisk together condensed milk, passion fruit juice, egg yolks, salt and vanilla. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Return pie to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the filling edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Cool pie on a wire rack for an hour and refrigerate until com pletely chilled.

For the topping: In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk cream cheese and sugar until soft and smooth, add cream and vanilla and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe topping on pie and decorate as desired. Enjoy!

UNPREDICTABLE WILDERNESS

CHUCK GRAHAM

The blood curdling screeches and yelps were incessant, carrying on longer than the norm. It sounded and felt like death in the campground in Scorpion Canyon on Santa Cruz Island, the largest isle in the Channel Islands National Park.

Two territorial island foxes were fight ing over their island turf, one gaining the upper hand. It was 2:30 a.m., and the low er campground was stirring. I couldn’t stand it anymore and got out of my tent, following the noise to the middle of the campground. There, I saw a lone woman crying over the fox fight. Three men stood nearby and simply watched.

As cute and playful as island foxes can be, they can be vicious towards one an other, self-regulating the island fox popu lation on the mountainous islet. I walked up to the two embattled island foxes and stomped my feet inches from the scrum. They acted as if I wasn’t even there. So, I grabbed the more dominant fox by the tail and the other by the scruff of its neck. I then flung them in opposite directions, breaking up the fight and instantly utter calm returned to Scorpion Canyon.

A northern saw-whet owl

I finally saw it – a northern saw-whet owl, that is, four of them to be exact. It was another sleepless night, with more to follow, as these short, seven-inch-tall owls kept me up multiple nights through this past August and September.

For years I’ve listened to them hidden high in the canopy of the eucalyptus groves in the canyon, and only at night. Over those next two months, trying to get a glimpse, I laid eyes on them maybe four times. Northern saw-whet owls are some of the hardest to see, but these four owlets were busy “tsst, tsst, tsst” all night long. I’d follow those sounds and listen. With my headlamp, flashlight, the flash on my camera and shooting in manual focus, I was able to locate the little stinkers in the riparian corridors between the camp grounds in Scorpion Canyon.

It was shocking really, considering how much noise I was making thrash ing through the tangled brush. During several attempts, I found solid ground with little saw-whets just above me only 15 to 20 feet away. As small as they are, they feast not only on flying insects, but also lizards and mice, which are aplenty on the island.

Island dwarfism

One night, while looking for those sawwhet owls, myself and another guide,

Dustin, came across an island spotted skunk, but something was amiss. Island spotted skunks are difficult to find. Typi cally, they are smelled first before spotted – no pun intended. They are nocturnal, and I would guess I’ve only seen less than 20 of them during my entire time on the islands. They are only found on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands.

In the dark with headlamps burning bright, we had a difficult time deci phering what exactly was taking place. The one-pound dwarf skunk appeared tangled in a large lemonade berry bush. Something long, maybe two-to-three feet, was sticking out of the skunk. Initially, I thought the skunk had impaled itself on a stick. It couldn’t move on its own, hindered by the lemonade berry.

Closer inspection revealed the long two-to-three-foot appendage was actu ally the skunk’s entrails hanging out, dragged into the lemonade berry and then tangled in the brush. The helpless skunk showed no signs of distress, or pain. It made no noises as it scuffled in the brush. I got as close as I could with a knife and cut the entrails away from the beleaguered dwarf skunk. After it was loose, it scurried off into the underbrush,

never to be seen again.

An island fox, a raptor or an owl could’ve been the culprits. They all prey on the second largest land mammal on the mountainous island. Island spotted skunks do spray, and maybe that was enough for this injured skunk to escape a predator, but the writing was on the wall for this little nocturnal animal.

The sleeping one

It was early November and Scorpion Canyon was chilly, northwest winds delivering cool air into Scorpion Anchor age. During one of those frigid nights, I wrote for a little bit in one of the sheds where we keep our kayaking gear. After an hour had passed, I stepped outside. It was suddenly still, warm and dry. It felt like maybe this was the night.

Besides the creatures mentioned above, I had been hearing burrowing owls call out near Cavern Point. During two other nights I went for a run and another a short hike, and saw poorwills on both occa sions. On this night, the conditions felt

right for spotting something. I grabbed a light I use for sea cave kayaking and walked up the dirt road leading to Cav ern Point.

After the first bend in the dirt track, I saw an eye reflect off my light. Initially, I thought island fox, but they bob their heads when a light shines on them. This eye held steady and was closer to the ground. It ended up being the best look I’ve ever had of the nocturnal poorwills, which belong to the nightjar family.

This one was different though. As I lied in the soft dirt, it allowed me to come within just a few feet, as it settled on the south-facing hill above Scorpion Canyon. It scooched itself into the warm earth before drifting off into torpor mode. The islands have a way of doing that to you.

Soccer season kicks off in Carpinteria

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

While the world’s best are battling for national pride in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup –which kicked off earlier this week – local soccer stars are also lacing up for their own season openers, with teams from both Carpinteria and Cate taking the field for early season action.

At Carpinteria High School, the girls soccer team opened the year with a homeand-away series against Orcutt Academy.

In the home opener, the Warriors fell behind early when a defensive break down led to a Orcutt goal in the sixth min ute. Carpinteria answered five minutes later when senior Sophia Mora played a free kick perfectly to fellow midfielder Asley Verduzco to even the score at 1-1. Orcutt would take the lead before half time, but Carpinteria junior striker Isela Zamora would tie the game in the 60th minute for a 2-2 final score.

The teams met up again two days later – this time in Orcutt – but the Warriors gave up two penalties and fell behind by

three goals before scoring a late consola tion goal for a 3-1 loss.

Despite the two penalties, the result of aggressive play in the box, the Warriors saw tough performances from seniors Mora and Ariana Lounsbury, along with an impressive debut from freshman forward Evelyn Lara, who created several opportunities to score and assisted senior Barbara Contreras for the late-game goal.

“I was pleased to see our senior leaders work through a disappointing performance with positive communi cation with the team throughout the match and individual accountability at the end of the match,” said Carpinteria coach Freddy Martinez.

The Warriors start the season 0-1-1 and will face Bishop Diego at home this week.

Carpinteria’s boys soccer squad officially opens up their season at Ventura on Nov. 30, but new head coach Gerry

Rodriguez and the Warriors got a chance for a preseason tune-up against perennial soccer powerhouse Santa Barbara at Peabody Stadium.

Coach Rodriguez was previously an assistant coach with Carpinteria, helping lead the team on a magical run to the CIF SoCal Regional Division 5 champion ship in 2018.

On the other side of town, Cate School’s boys soccer team started the season with a road game against Nor dhoff, which served as the debut for a young Rams roster with seven freshmen and three sophomores on the starting 11.

The young team struggled to get going, and Nordhoff took an early lead with a counter-attack goal in the first five minutes. Cate gave up another goal early in the second half, but the Rams started building a rhythm and sophomore Ari Seal fed the ball to freshman Suhuyini Abdul Nafe, who flew past the defense to score his first career goal and bring

the game within one score. Ultimately, Nordhoff took the win 4-1.

“Even though the scoresheet was not in our favor, both Coach Molina and I are very impressed with the effort, grit and fight our young team showed tonight,” said Cate head coach Jorge Reynoso.

“With their first game under their belt, we are confident that this young team will see improvements and success not just in the upcoming two to three seasons, but in the next game.”

Cate will return home to host the Ste venson Pirates on Friday, Dec. 2.

Warriors open basketball season with new head coach

Carpinteria’s boys basketball team got the season started under new head coach Jackson Hall with two games in the past week, facing Thacher on the road before hosting Foothill Tech at home.

Against Thacher, the Warriors were led by senior Kainoa Glasgow with a teamhigh 26 points, but Carpinteria couldn’t stop the Toads on offense and Thacher came away with the win 71-46.

In the home opener, Glasgow once again put on a show for the home crowd with 18 points, and super sophomore Sebastian Campuzano dropped another 14, but Foothill Tech was able to hold on to a seven-point lead to take the win 51-44.

Carpinteria is now 0-2 but will have chances to get its first win under its new head coach with games this week against Orcutt Academy and St. Bonaventure, followed by a tournament at Rio Mesa starting Tuesday, Nov. 29.

The Warriors girls water polo season opened with a matchup against Royal, but the visiting Highlanders played tough defense and took the win 8-4.

Carpinteria’s Ainslee Alexander led the team with a pair of goals, followed by Lilli Nemetz and Taylor Classen with one goal each. Senior goalie Erin Otsuki had a solid game in the net with 13 saves.

Carpinteria coach Jon Otsuki said the Warriors “played from behind the entire game but battled to keep the game close,” and that Royal was able to apply defensive pressure to cause turnovers.

Following the Thanksgiving break, the Warriors will get back in the pool for a matchup against Pacifica in Oxnard on Monday, Nov. 28.

Warriors girls basketball grabs first win

Carpinteria girls basketball tipped off the winter season with a tournament at Santa Maria last week and picked up its first win of the year over Coastal Cristian on the second day of tournament play.

On day one, the Warriors started with a competitive effort against host Santa Maria, but Carpinteria couldn’t overcome struggles at the free throw line and on offense and the Saints came out on top, 54-34.

“We had several opportunities on offense that we did not convert and missed nine free throws,” said Carpinteria coach Henry Gonzales. “Couple that with too many turnovers, it’s difficult to overcome.”

But the Warriors did find some bright spots in the loss: junior Amarisse Camargo led the team with 18 points, and freshman Jamaica Cook made her presence known with a team-high 11 rebounds.

The next morning, the Warriors were able to get in the win column with a solid effort over Coastal Christian, 48-41.

“We did a better job of converting good scoring opportunities which allowed us to jump out to a 22-17 first-half lead,” Gonzales said.

Coastal Christian fought back in the third period, taking a one-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, but the Warriors were able to tighten up on defense and take the win.

Camargo led the way in the first half with nine points, but Charlotte Cooney stepped up in her first year on varsity with 18 points in the victory. Cook followed with another 10-rebound game, while Lizbeth Alpizar finished with a team-high 11 rebounds.

The Warriors finished the tournament with one final game against Santa Ynez. Camargo and Cooney once again led the team with 17 points and 15 points, respectively, while Alpizar and Cook remained a force on the boards, but Santa Ynez was able to hold on to a narrow lead for a 48-44 win.

“I was happy with our overall progress throughout the weekend,” Gonzales said. “We are building positive momentum and confidence going forward.”

Carpinteria returns to the court for another tournament at Nordhoff, which will run over three days this week.

Cate’s fastest make state finals in cross country

Both Cate’s boys and girls cross country teams competed in the CIF Finals at Mt. San Antonio College, with the girls tying the school’s all-time record at the course and qualifying for the State Finals in Fresno.

Senior Kendall Thorne led the way with a time of 19:50 – the fifth-best all time in Cate history – while the girls matched the school’s record at the course with a com bined time of 1:42:06. The team time was good enough to claim third in Division 5 and cement a spot in the finals.

“Kendall has been running very well lately and she really wanted to break 20 minutes in her last attempt on the Mt. SAC course,” said Cate coach Tim Weir. “We are thrilled that she was able to do that. Kendall is a tremendous leader and has had great success over her four years at Cate. The girls all had great races and are excited to head to Fresno for the second straight year.”

Every member of the girls team improved on their time from the same course in the prelims, with sophomore Francesca Sutch (20:02), freshman Jen Won (20:36), senior Lylie Betchel (20:44) and sophomore Maddie Patrick (21:21) rounding out the team’s next five fastest finishers.

The boys had a strong showing as well, with junior Seb Sutch taking seventh place with a time of 16:07, which was enough to qualify as an individual in the State Finals and puts him at third in the school record book.

Junior Everest Schipper was right behind Sutch with a time of 16:41, but just missed out on qualifying for the finals. As a team, the boys fought through illness and just missed the cut for the finals.

“The boys were disappointed that they didn’t qualify as a team for the state meet,” Weir said, “but overall, they are happy with how the season went for them and are already talking about next season.”

Rams girls basketball picks up win

Cate’s girls basketball team started out the season strong with a 44-19 win over Nordhoff.

After a slow start, Cate unleashed an unselfish brand of basketball with several players contributing on offense in the first half to take a 23-9 halftime lead.

In the second half, coach Laura Moore was determined to reverse Cate’s tendency last year to play sluggish in the final two quarters of games. This season, the Rams were able to keep the energy and spread the ball around to everybody on the court. By the end of the game, at least seven different players had scored.

“Last year, we often struggled out of halftime to maintain our collective energy, so I was really proud of the intensity out of the half and the balanced scoring,” Moore said.

Lilli Whelan finished with her first-ever double-double with 10 points and 13 re bounds, while freshman Emerson Evans and senior Mary Foster each finished with eight rebounds.

“We could not have asked for a better overall effort from our team in their open ing game of the season,” Moore said. “We are excited to see all that this group can achieve this year.”

Cate will play against St. Bonaventure at the Bishop Diego Tournament on Nov. 30.

Cate’s big man Babacar Pouye’s breakout game

Cate’s superstar senior Babacar Pouye already turned heads last year in his junior season – helping his team reach the second round of the CIF-SS Division 4A playoffs, where the Rams suffered an overtime loss – but in this year’s season opener, he has already proved his talent with a monster stat-line of 34 points and 28 rebounds.

The Rams were able to hold visiting Dunn School to nine points in the first half, and Pouye was able to grab 13 offensive rebounds on the way to the 51-33 win.

“Babacar’s 28 boards is the most rebounds I have seen in a game from a player in my eight-year tenure at Cate,” said Rams head coach Andrew Gil. “I’m most impressed with his poise growing into a senior leader and ability to alter shots.”

Gil also credited Cate’s crop of young players, like sophomores Jacob Gabbay and Peter Lehman and freshman Josh Butler, for playing great team defense in the victory.

“Incredible team effort and a great start to the season allowing our young guys to get an understanding of the pace and speed of a varsity game,” Gil said.

The Rams will return to action on Nov. 30 at the Nordhoff invitational, starting with a game against Villanova Prep.

Cate’s superstar senior Babacar Pouye started the season with 34 points and 28 rebounds.
